Let's go to war!

Might be cool, indeed!

Well spotted Dora.

Its a 12 note riff

Notes 1-5 = Start of Tchaikovsky's Slavonic March
Notes 6-12 = Start of Grieg's In the Hall of the Mountain King

They've just been joined together (intentionally or unintentionally)

Yup, that's definitely it!
Sounds cool though with the singing and all...

All the holy edicts
All the broken subjects

Let's go to war

Let's go to war
We need to get them back again

Working class skeletons
Lie scattered in museums
And all the false economies
Speak sweetly of your dreams

Let's go to war

Let's go to war
We need to get them back again
"We need to get them back again"

I'm pretty sure it's "We need to go to war again". Given that's its meant to be a "marching song" it sounds about right.

Love it! The drumbeat on the studio version doesn't have quite the same thumping impact as when I first heard it live at Brixton, but it still drives the song.
